Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Preparing for a Cake Smash!

Cake smashes are so fun!

There is just something so magical about planing, decorating and creating first birthday magic.

Today’s blog is a little different. I thought it would be a different perspective to share with you some of the behind the scenes process of organising a cake smash.

Of course it starts with the booking process. Once all booked in we start the planning. We love involving our clients in the planing process and have a huge selection of props and outfits that you can choose from in our preparation guide. Alternatively you can always leave the creative process up to us, if it’s not really your thing or you love a surprise!

Next is the fun part

Our team will go out into the field and organise anything that needs external planning such as the cake, balloons, outfits or any particular decor.

Cake decorating is one of the things that we also do in house and love creating unique naked cakes for each set up. Some have drives florals others gold flakes or other amazing designs! And of course the set up, putting everything together and intentionally adding in little details to really create that magic!

Finally the cake smash itself. Capturing those first memories of tasting cake (mostly for the first time) is so precious! The giggles and laughter. The toes between the cake slices and the messy little hands!

Have a first birthday coming up? Lets connect….

South Gold Coast Newborn Photographer | Props, accessories and more!

Choosing your props

Theme, are you going minimal, rustic, boho, lots of decor, different colours etc.
What type of session are you doing. Some props are more appropriate for newborns whilst others are more appropriate for older toddlers. Your photographer will give great suggestions!
How big is your little one, stream lining off the previous point… it’s important to discuss the size of your little one with your photographer as the will really narrow down the best prop fit.

Alternatively if choosing your favourite prop is a little overwhelming you can always leave the creative reigns up to your photographer. But it is also nice to have some in put too.

We are constantly updating our prop selection at Dreamy Moon Photography. When you book in you will be sent a guide where you can select your favourite props, outfits and accessories!

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | Why your should meet with your photographer after the session

Robina QLD Newborn Photographer | Why your should meet with your photographer after the session

Have you…

Have you ever had a photoshoot with a photograph that you met on the day, did a quick photoshoot. Got your image download link and then nothing…. You never really hear from them again. Maybe you see some of their work pop up but it’s just a person in passing.

Sometimes this can be referred to as shoot and burn photography. It’s quick fast paced but doesn’t work on building relationships or strong rapport. As a luxury tailored experience, photographer. We do not want you feeling that way if you work with Dreamy Moon Photography.

Here are some of the reason we believe you should meet your photographer more than once!

Firstly, it’s so important to develop a trusting relationship with your photographer. This will help you feel 100x more relaxed during your shoot. If you have young children, this will also help them be less timid with a stranger.

Not only will you and your children feel more comfortable but you will also have more reassurance and trust in your photographers creative expertise, the way they run their studio and confidence in the final outcome.

When you invest into your photographer, to help create amazing family heirlooms you need an element of trust.

At Dreamy Moon, we do not want to be strangers! We love meeting new families and creating everlasting relationships and connections. So many of our clients love and benefit from having a close rapport with our team. They know that if anything comes up we are a text or a phone call away. And nothing is awkward about it at all.

Meeting up with your photographer after your session allows them to deliver to exceptional standards! One of our favourite things to do with our clients after their product deliver is to drop off a little pressie either at their work or home. This just allows our clients to know how much we appreciate and value them.

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photography | November Haul

We love a good monthly haul here at Dreamy Moon Photography. Of course we have to share with you what we picked up for the studio this month! Firstly, if you can not tell from the pictures by now, this theme is very Christmas orientated! Tis’ the season to get into all the reds, greens, golds and festive colours! And we just couldn’t help ourselves with some of these cute Christmas outfits!

The Outfits!

The first outfit we picked up is a gorgeous red and white pin striped ruffled little romper by Bencer and Hazelnut. Which can be paired with a white ruffled under shirt. Or something with a saying, for example ‘ Baby’s first Christmas’…. This piece is going to photography so beautifully on your little ones! It can also be used for both Christmas and festivities, but also a cake smash session if you love the colour red or vintage look.

Next we picked up a little white linen ruffle sleeved romper from one of our favourite baby boutiques, two darlings.. This romper is absolutely gorgeous and such a versatile piece being all white. This romper can be used for the festivities, but also family sessions, sibling sessions, milestone sessions and of course cake smashes. It also has and adjustable back which will accomodate for a variety of sizes between 00-1.

To add to the festivities, our recent purchase was a sibling plaid Christmas set. A little baby romper and a matching big brother shirt & shorts set. This set is absolutely adorable and will be perfect for Christmas Sessions!

Christmas Markets

We will be bringing all of these outfits, plus more to our Christmas Mini Sessions and the Hide and Seek Markets in Upper Coomera on the 19th of November and the 10th of December.

Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

They come out grainy and discoloured…

Have you ever gone to Kmart or Big W to print off some pictures from your iPhone and they come out totally poor quality, grainy and the colours are all muddy? I have out of convenience and I regret it every time! Tweed NSW Cake Smash Photographer | Why Your Photos Need To Be Printed By a Pro

That is because of a few reasons;

The machines are designed for fast pace and not quality.
The ink and paper that is used is cheap and convenient
Your images a probably not formatted correctly to be printed directly from your phone. Quality is lost
Your phone is not calibrated with the printer meaning the colours have a high chance of being off.
They are not really designed to print large images.

Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

6 months old!

It is the phase where they are not quite moving yet but not quite so little anymore. The time when the rolly-polls are getting bigger and their independence is trying to shine through. Can you believe it half way to one! Six months old is such a sweet age and an age that is often overlooked for photos. But I promise you won’t be disappointed if you get them done! Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | 6 Month Milestone Sessions

We will capture your baby’s personality and development for you to remember. Most babies aren’t quite sitting independently yet at this stage, but thats okay because we have plenty of props to assist. And of course tummy time shots are just the cutest!

Dreamy Moon Photography has a full extensive client wardrobe for your little ones, ranging from itty bitty 0000 all the way up to size 2. Click here to get a sneak peek.

Arnhem-Sol’s milestone session

Recently we captured Arnhem-Sol’s milestone pictures. She was so enthusiastic and bubbly during the shoot. So many giggles and activity going on. We did two outfit changes. Firstly she wore a little gingham romper that showed all her rolls off! The second outfit was a two darlings onesie in the colour mint. I really feel like green is her colour and always try to dress her in that.

We managed to capture some really cute pictures for her 6 month old milestone session. If you would love to schedule your baby’s 6 month old photos in, Click Here…

Cake Smash Photographer Gold Coast QLD | Why your Photographer won’t give you raws

Disclaimer: Every baby, child and person is beautiful before & after editing. Editing is used as a tool for artistic enhancement.

Let’s talk about raw files!

I know this is something that is super controversial in both the photographer and client world. But I wanted to use today’s blog to educate you on the reasons why most photographers will not actually give you the raw files.

Firstly let’s talk about what a raw file actually is. So a raw file isn’t just the unedited version of the picture but is actually a huge file of unprocessed and processed data. It’s uncompressed data that is used in an external program such as lightroom or photoshop. Which is used to process an image to its fullest potential.

With that in mind you need a program to even open a raw file. Sending and receiving raw files requires a huge amount of space which most people don’t have unless they work in photography or digital media etc.

Most photographers won’t send through raw images for both of the reasons above however there are a few more reasons why they won’t either. A raw files is not a true representation of the photographers work. Photography is an art and a raw file is an unfinished canvas. It’s the bare minimum.

It’s like being sold an unfinished product.

As a fellow photographer. We want your experience with photography to be a completed process. For you to receive quality artwork at the end. For your experience to be ingrained in the final products.

So please don’t get offended when your photographer won’t give you the raw image as you’re hiring them to create art for you and an enjoyable experience.

Hopefully this blog gives you a little bit of insight as why most togs avoid giving out raw images.
